Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2652: Chapter 2647: Eight Evil Women (23)

Not only... also vomited on your stomach.

The suggestion in front sounded serious, but it suddenly went off track.

Although logically it seemed okay, is this the time to care about it?

Wait, this person indeed shouldn’t care.

Fu Qian’s answer left her a bit stunned, but as she was about to make a sarcastic comment, Yuan Shan suddenly stopped herself from speaking.

As for her complex reaction, Fu Qian found it easy to understand her thought process.

Are you kidding? What’s my identity now? A bona fide captive.

When the Hunter falls for the trap, normally there’s no joy, why would one have the obligation to help solve the puzzle?

Giving the advice from before was already quite kind, wasn’t it?

Yes, although Wen Li’s image at the moment might have the effect of tomato sauce trying to scare people, Fu Qian still tended to believe that the poison she mentioned was real.

As a typical Psychic Series player, perhaps her direct combat ability hadn’t been demonstrated, but her perceptiveness was trustworthy.

Remember in Shangjing, even when the Second Phase Prison Angel Commander wanted to pull some tricks, it was discovered by Wen Li who was even not in the High Tier at that time, and she even managed to convey information.

Perhaps there was an element of coincidentally hitting her professional domain, but relatively speaking, she herself had also grown, hadn’t she?

”Indeed, something’s wrong.”

Without Fu Qian needing to speak, as Chief Yuan was having complex emotions, another person stepped up to express agreement.

Right, Sword Heart Enlightenment is also present.

Looking towards the source of the sound, Fu Qian saw Miss Liushuang, who was already on guard with her sword, feeling a kind of satisfaction that the taught student had excelled.

...

”What’s wrong?”

Another competitor stood out, tilting the balance a bit to one side.

Seeing Wen Li struggling against some discomfort and unable to spare the time to answer, Yuan Shan immediately turned back to confirm Ji Liushuang’s feelings.

”It’s indeed a kind of poison... but it’s not the usual destruction targeting flesh, hence it’s hard to detect.”

Without needing her to elaborate, Miss Liushuang was already fully immersed, focusing on sensing something.

”It’s not even targeting the mind, at least I personally feel my willpower has no major issue... but truly it is spreading continually.”

Not targeting the flesh or the mind? And yet it’s poison? Are you sure there’s no issue with your description?

Regrettably, even with such real-time sharing, it still seemed subjected to doubts.

Although no voice spoke up at the moment, several people, including Chief Yuan, furrowed their brows, pondering Ji Liushuang’s description.

”Here...”

But the term Cultivation Heart wasn’t used casually; Miss Liushuang’s path of cultivation apparently didn’t easily get influenced by external disturbances.

Speaking to herself, she had already stepped forward, drawing numerous eyes, all falling upon the door that had been opened earlier, and reached out to pull directly.

Yet, clearly seeing no latch, under Transcendent power, the door which could only be described as considerably heavy, remained unmoving.

”Seems like... can’t be opened.”

After attempting a second time, Miss Liushuang turned around, confirming the unfortunate news.

...

Already can’t be opened?

It’s well known that the mind is peculiar; one can sit inside drinking tea for an afternoon, but if the door is truly locked, the feeling turns uncomfortable immediately.

”What could this be?”

Suddenly hearing about losing freedom, the response from the group turned significant, especially from Professor Lisa who had welcomed them earlier.

In an exclamation, her figure practically drew an afterimage under the candlelight, rushing to the front door.

Miss Liushuang didn’t say much about it, just stepped back to make room for her.

Comparatively, Lisa’s movements were much rougher, her actions at that moment almost made one worry she would crush the door.

”Really can’t be opened anymore...”

But under that extraordinary power difficult for others to match, even the part of the door composed of wood remained motionless.

After several attempts, even Lisa had to admit this incredible fact, mumbling while looking over.

”Try to destroy it.”

Chief Yuan, more mature and steady, remained standing in place, suggesting a different approach.

We’ve all been out and about, having such experience is clear.

A glance tells that there’s almost zero chance these two are performing a duet act of deception, no need to foolishly attempt further.

Dong!

It appeared Professor Lisa held little consciousness for artifact protection, almost changing her pull into a push with a punch at Yuan Shan’s suggestion.

Unfortunately, even starting from zero frames seemed to provide no effect as if employing a surprise attack.

The door remained motionless, and even the sound of knocking felt peculiar.

”A bit uncanny.”

This kind of cold violence visibly unsettled Professor Lisa, clenching her teeth, now sporting a black glove and moving to the larger main door.

”No need to try further... cough, cough...”

Before her expansionary act could be carried out, Wen Li’s voice halted her.

In this brief moment, the latter seemed significantly sobered, coughing lightly and wiping the corners of her mouth stained with blood.

”We’re being kept here... the ’poison’s’ effect is eroding our selfhood to have this place digest us.”

...

Digest? Is it a different kind of human consumption?

The shock factor of Wen Li’s message was undeniably grim.

Interpreting it was relatively straightforward; some special erosion made people less independent in front of the Sanctuary.

Leading to invisible constraints, things previously easily breakable now seemed sheltered by Rule-based protection.

Neither door nor wall could be broken with brute force now.

So truly trapped here? According to prior description, the poisoning situation continuously worsening, surely the longer it stretches, the more troublesome it gets...

The team seemed visibly affected in spirits.

”It’s indeed becoming increasingly apparent. Take a careful feel, you should know, I am not lying.”

However, looking optimistically through this present dilemma, Miss Wen seemed to achieve her initial wish, becoming the spokesperson of the Dark Holy Hall.

As if knowing what was on everyone’s mind, she confirmed the situation’s worsening, so much that everyone should soon feel it themselves.

”I believe you, and I definitely have already felt it.”

Worthy of being the most reliable partner, it was Yuan Shan beside who first responded, supporting her judgment.

”But what puzzles me is this effect, self being swallowed by this place...”

Turning next to Fu Qian, Yuan Shan pointed at him, raising a doubt.

”How does it sound quite similar to the torment you’re suffering as a captive?”
